Initial Consultation - $ 200.00/hr

Nominal Fee for Prospective Client
 

It  is highly recommended that you invest in an initial consultation if you have immigration issues which may require legal help. The initial  consultation gives us an opportunity to review your situation with  attention to determine the available course of action and to provide  you with an honest assessment of the likelihood of success of your case before you retain Reggie Smith Law firm.

Each case is unique and a careful evaluation of your immigration matter by an immigration  lawyer is essential. We will request certain documents and information to be compiled and brought at the time of our meeting, such passport any other document that may be pertinent to your case.

A first-time immigration consultation of up to one hour with the attorney Reggie Smith is $150.00.  In some instances, the initial consultation fee will  be credited toward your legal fee if Reggie Smith Law is retained within  30 days of the consultation. Initial consultation fees are different for individuals who are currently detained.

No  attorney-client relationship is formed by virtue of an initial  consultation. Such a relationship is formed only upon your retaining  this firm to handle a particular matter after signing a Letter of Engagement.

At  the end of the consultation, you will have a clear understanding of the  steps that will be taken to ensure a successful resolution of your  case.

Initial Consultations are available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
